Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost 14

I bought the Ghost 14s a few months ago and after breaking them in, I actually liked my Ghost 13s better.

I use these for walking and they're not comfortable. To be perfectly honest, the Ghost12 is a more comfortable shoe.

I've been running in Ghosts for the last 7 years and have been very happy with the feel and performance. The 14s are just missing something. They don't have the comfortable feeling I got from prior versions. I am returning them. I will explore other Brooks models so I can run happy. Thanks

Feel okay. Good cushioning, but they don?t make me feel like I have a ?spring in my step.? The graphics aren?t very attractive - too much black although the lime green/fluorescent color is good. They even gave black laces (terrible) which I changed immediately. The soles are gray but would look better in a lighter color. Hopefully, they?ll wear well - it?s too soon to know. All in all, none of Brooks shoes are very attractive but if they perform well I?ll be okay with them, I suppose.

I normally like the Ghost and Glycerin series (which I have at least 10 pairs that I rotate around). My wife says I have a 'fleet' of Brooks. I ordered 2 pair on my last order. In terms of comfort, I like the red pair - Color 615 Red/Tomato/Black. However, the other pair - Color 072 - Oyster/Cherry/Ebony have a sole that is considerably harder and more firm when walking or when I have attempted to run in them. At this point, that pair will not get worn due to creating pain for my plantar fasciitis.

I had to buy these after being unable to find the launch 8 that I?m used to wearing in my size and color. They are not as comfortable as I was hoping for they fit snug.

Did not feel like a quality shoe. When I tried it on it look like my toe was going to come through the fabric(just like the last pair I bought). I returned it.

The Ghosts are comfortable. The biggest issue I have is that they will not stay clean. I own a black pair and a light grey pair. The light grey I wash almost weekly because they are dirt magnets . I dont know why or how they get so dirty.

They were too tight, so I returned them

Brooks has changed the interior design of the shoes - the "platform" does not provide the same support as the previous shoes I have purchased from Brooks. Very disappointed. I appreciate that they are true to size and lightweight.

I have been buying brooks for years for myself and children. I have seen the prices go up and in my estimation quality is down after the ghost 10 until now. I could not believe the really cheap shoe string on the 14's. small matter but was very noticeable.

Would be great if they were a bit wider.

I bought the mens Ghost 14 because it was the closest Brooks to an all white shoe. I also purchased it a half size smaller. The mens shoes are harder to adjust in.

Not as comfortable as the Glerician 20. Also a small piece ripped from the sole the first day i wore them.

I thought the cushioning of where the ball of the foot strikes. The left shoe more than the right. These are expensive running shoes & expected more I guess.

Not sure about the soles but we will have to see after a break in period.

Overall this has been my favorite Brooks shoe. But the last two have shown unusually poor wear on the soles under the pad of the foot between the toes and arch support area. 1 pair not an issue, but 2 in a row seems problematic. Otherwise a great fitting shoe. But for the cost is should last longer given relatively little use.

It?s a fine shoe, but I prefer the Dyan. Unfortunately the black, size 11 double wide is rarely in stock. I?ve been a Brooks customer for many years, but may try other brands if the Dyan model continues to be unavailable.
